At what point does healing become another burden? When does self-improvement turn into self-punishment? And how do we know when it’s time to stop searching for the next tool, ritual, or certification and just be?

.

In this episode, we dive into the shadow side of healing culture—the part no one talks about. The never-ending healing loop, the burnout from constantly trying to "fix" ourselves, and the guilt that creeps in when we’re not actively doing the work.

.

We explore:

🔹 Healing as an Addiction – The rush of breakthroughs, the craving for the next modality, and the fear of stopping.

🔹 The Spiritual Hustle Trap – How the self-development industry often mirrors the same toxic productivity culture we’re trying to escape.

🔹 Integration vs. Overconsumption – Why pausing is just as important as the work itself.

🔹 From Hustle to Hiding – How burnout can lead us into isolation, making us feel unworthy of showing up in the world until we're “fully healed.”
.🔹 The Rise of Quick-Fix Coaches & Healers – Navigating an industry flooded with overnight certifications, aggressive marketing, and promises of instant transformation.
.🔹 Trusting Our Own Wisdom – How deconstructing rigid healing protocols can help us tap into our inner knowing.
.🔹 Grief as a Teacher – The profound shift that happens when life (or collective trauma) forces us to strip everything away and redefine what healing actually means.

.

💡 Plus, we share:

.

Wild personal experiences with spiritual trends gone wrong—including Ibiza yoni circles, group yoni massages, and high-vibe retreats that were anything but…

.

Healing practices that secretly drain us more than they help.

.

What our shadow selves would be doing as a full-time job

.

The one piece of advice we’d give to our younger selves—what we wish we had known before diving headfirst into the self-help world.
